Muthi Kebab (Fist Shape Mutton Mince Kebabs)

          This is a great party appetizer which can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. It is made with mutton mince and other flavouring agents. Very simple and an easy snack recipe, they are deep fried at the time of serving and relished with tomato ketchup, kasundi (mustard sauce) or green chutney. 

          

          You may also serve these yummy kebas as a light meal with salad or soup. The name Muthi comes from the fact that these kebabs are given a rugged fist shape and not any neat round / oval shape. you may also have these kebabs in tortilla / chapatti as rolls or made into a gravy to be had with rice or any Indian bread. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.

• 250 gms. mutton mince, completely drained
• 2-3 tbsp. roasted chickpea flour
• 1 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp. raw papaya paste
• 1-2 green chilies, chopped
• 1 tsp. lime juice
• 2-3 tbsp. fried onions, crushed
• 1 tsp. white sesame seeds
• salt to taste
• 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
• 1 tsp. red chili powder
• 1 tsp. roasted coriander-cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp. garam masala powder
• 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
• 2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
• 2-3 tbsp. mint leaves, chopped
• oil to deep fry

          In a large bowl, mix all the mentioned ingredients (except oil). Marinate for 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.

          Take a small portion of the mince mix in your palm and squeeze to give a fist shape, called muthi. The size of the kebab may differ. I kept mine small - a mini version. Make similar muthi kebabs and keep aside.

          Heat oil in a pan and deep fry them in batches to golden in colour. Drain on a kitchen towel.

          Serve as a party appetizer with tomato ketchup, kasundi (mustard sauce) or green chutney. You may also serve these yummy kebabs as a light meal with salad or soup.
